This meeting of the "Con. ferenca will - always - ha remembered as-one of the ' busieat. and one of the most Interesting la he-history of the body. " The attendance of tha lay. men at this meetlr4rhas baen unusu ally large and their Interest la the Con fere tree has been especially mark, ed. Prominent laymen .from other Conference and from other denomi nations have been here and the Lay. men's Movement of the Conference has received a special impetus. Mr. John- .ft. Peoner. of Meraohla. Tenn who is superintendent of the largest Sunday school In the 1C. E. Church, South, has been one of the most pop. ular laynvea in' attendance at ine Conference. The address of Mr, Pepper oa . the Sunday school .-was one of the most highly commended of the many addresaea heard at this session. speaking of the success ful gunday school he emphasised first the five cardinal points to this end -the Sunday school must te, first, In teres tins: second, instructive; third, devotional: fourth, missionary, -ana fifth, enternrlalna-. He showed next that the successful teacher will fol How this rule la teaching- the lesson: He will refer to the title, the text, tne context date, geography, lesson ques tions, reading references, difficulties, analysis, truths, central truth and application. The other point he made wag with reference to the seven symptoms of successful Sunday school. which he designated as iouows; nrst. indentation -of the 'heart; second, en- largement of the head; third, dilation of the eyes; fourth, ood grip of the hand; fifth, suppleness ot tne knees; sixth.' nervousness oc tne zeet; eev enth, atlffnese of the. backbone. Bishop - Wilson called the Confer. ence to order at 0:00 this morning. and Rev. F. H. Wood.! of the West ern North Carolina Conference, con ducted the devotional service, after which the minutes of Saturday's session were read and approved. A resolution -was adopted reeom mending that the presiding elders sr- range the date of meeting Tor tne district conferences so that no con nict will occur. A collection amounting to 007.01 was taken for a preacher in the War- renton district whose salary was not paid In full the past year. The committee oa hooka and pe riodicals .submitted a report whloh elicited considerable discussion oa the Conference floor. - The recommenda tion that the Conference purchase i controlling Interest in the shares of The Raleigh Christian Advocate not already owned by the body waa strick en out, after which the report was adopted. . - Later one layman offered privately to take stock to the amount of 0 1.000' and another proposed to take 0200 worth f the same.- Rev. T, N." Ivey, D. p.. was re-elected edi tor of The Advocate, receiving ii votes, and he addressed the Confer ence la the interest of the paper. - ""'After the reading of the report of the board of missions, Mrs. f. s. Swindell, corresponding secretary of the woman's Foreign .Missionary tw- clety for this Conference, submitted the report - of that society, , showing the women - have raised more ; than 010.000 this year. '. M'.. The temperance committee recom mended that wrrort oe made to en force fully the present State prohlbl tlon laws, and recommended also that effort-be made to sup press -the use of cigarettes and cocaine, morphine and similar prugs.., i. i. .,.' A special resolution.' was .offered recommending that unfermented -wine only be used In the sacrament of the Lord a Supper, but . Jt was laid on ine lame. ... . .; '.:--' The theme of Bishop Wilson's re marks juat before the reading of the appointments', waa the danger, that is being brought; to the, Church oa ac count ot the demand of laymen" for young and Inexperienced preachers fa the responsible pastorates of the Church, instead of men whose years and experience make them capable of advancing the, work under their wise direction. . .
